Life is full of sorrow and happiness, ups and downs. I create it as some kind of day-to-day life into words. Just to release what I feel.. although not completely what I really feel :)

We had our dinner at Lau Pa Sat last nite 'cos they were just coming from Chinatown before they reached the place we met. Vivian wanted to try the Singapore famous 'Chilli Crab' 'cos I mentioned the dish few times when she came here last two weeks hehehe... Well.. there it goes!!!As a starter, Maurizio ordered a jug of Tiger Beer - happy hour - it costs only $14/jug - and not long after that, followed by another jug =D Then we ordered lala, chicken wings, and satay for accompanying the drink. We were chit chat. He was telling us the story during their stay in Bali and showing me the pics that they took as well.. He said they had to always bargain w/ people there. Imagine - sunglasses = the opening price was 350,000 rupiah (about SGD$70) and they managed to bargain 'til 40,000 rupiah (SGD$8) kekekeke....He rented motorcycle there. It costs 25,000 rupiah (about SGD$5) per day and a car for only 75,000 rupiah (about SGD$15) per day. How cheap it is!!! He was also saying about the bargaining for the hotel rate and breakfast, and so on... 'cos since they were 'bule' or 'angmoh' - means foreigner - people were trying to slash them w/ a very high price. Vivian doesn't like it, but Maurizio enjoyed it - it's only that.. it took them a very long time just to buy something. They went to Lombok too by flight. Hm.. not bad ya???There were a lot more to talk.. then we started to order our chilli crab and stingray.. closed by bubur cha cha and durian ice kachang. But I forgot that if people drink beer, they can't mix it w/ durian.. so Reever and I ate the durian while they ate the ice kachang hehehe...We ate and talked 'til 9.30pm and we headed to MRT Raffles Place and we separated there... They went ahead to the airport, while we went back home.It's very nice to meet them again. Hopefully I have a chance next time to go to Swiss and visit them =)))
